Glad you got it working... I liked it so much at work, I have another one at
home, and I liked that so much, I put another one in my RV..
Now that you have that working, consider playing with not only the computer
networking, but adding Multimedia friendly devices.. In Vegas for the CES
Show now (and they have some really neat stuff), devices like
DVR's/Audio/Pictures-Graphics etc.. that lets things be saved off various
sources and displayed anywhere in the home (My fav is still the 71" Plasma
HDTV w/surround sound... < --- I want one of those before superbowl!), but
even if you don't dream/get crazy with new technology, it sounds like you at
least got the first step working. Congrats...
